Swim AB events camps

After a run of illnesses we had 6 swimmers represent us at Swim Alberta events this past weekend and they all represented very well. There was lots of learning to be done over the weekend and Nadine, Karlyn, Brayden, Jolene, Sarah and Sydney are all very lucky to have been able to attend the camps. It was a great experience for both the coaches and swimmers that were involved in the camp. In Lethbridge at the AB vs BC dual meet and camp the swimmers were stressed in many different ways and then expected to perform their best during the dual meet. There were some great presentations throughout the weekend and I hope to receive some of the information and pass it on to the rest of the club. At the meet the AB Girls narrowly beat the BC Girls in what was a very competitive battle but the AB boys were a little outclassed over the weekend. The coaches were all very happy with how the swimmers performed. They made great strides over the weekend to continue to progress to new levels. And we all left happy with where we are at as a province but we also realize how much better we can be. There is a lot of talent in Alberta and our swimmers are some of the best. How far they will go in this sport is completely up to them.
Up in Grande Prairie there was a similar message and the swimmers seem very excited to come back and use their new skills. Our swimmers made other coaches take notice, all were very coachable and eager to learn. It was a great setting for the swimmers to work and learn. It should be a very exciting long course season.
